Northampton County’s district attorney will hold a press conference on Monday criticizing a liquor privatization in Pennsylvania, according to a news release.

District Attorney John Moragnelli’s release says he’ll be in Harrisburg at 11 a.m. Monday to elaborate on the position that the “governor’s privatized liquor sales plan puts private business interests above public safety.”

The release says “easy access to alcohol increases risks to teens.”

Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican, lobbied unsuccessfully for a plan to privatize the sale of liquor in Pennsylvania.

The news release says Morganelli, a Democrat, will be at the capitol rotunda with Stephen Erni, the executive director of the Pennsylvania DUI Association, and Felicity DeBacco Erni also of the association.

The release notes that Morganelli was the Democratric nominee for state attorney general in 2008 and a potential candidate for Pennsylvania lieutenant governor in 2014. He has sent out letters seeking volunteers to collect signature for nominating petitions, although he hasn’t committed yet to running for lieutenant governor.

Morganelli, 57, of Bethlehem, has been the county district attorney for 20 years.
